Jaynes was arraigned yesterday morning and is also charged with murder and kidnapping, said Diane McDonald, a spokesperson for the District Attorney's office. Jayne's first pre-trial hearing is set for Nov. 6, she said...
...Daryl "Chill" Mitchell) and the is-he-gay? guy (Wallace Langham)--to bring sense and sarcasm to Ronnie's hectic, arid life. A genial dynamo running her undies empire, for which she was the original cover-girl model, she has a slightly spreading figure and a philandering husband (Christopher McDonald) who is, dammit, the man she loves.
